What binds to receptor molecules on the host cell membrane?
glycoproteins
What biological molecules can make up the bacterial capsule?
The cell capsule is a very large structure of some bacterial cells. It is a layer that lies outside the cell envelope of bacteria.
How much glycoproteins are in the cell membrane?
there are 2% of the molecules in plasma membrane and 50% of its weight these are the protins in the animal cells.
What are some of the other molecules in the plasma membrane?
The cell membrane is mostly composed of phospholipids, but also contains proteins, cholesterol, glycolipids and carbohydrates (mostly glycoproteins).
What are some analogies of glycoproteins?
A combination of carbohydrates and proteins glycproteins are receptor molecules that are used as signals to get messages from one cell to another: they detect the surroundings of the cell (i.e hormones, sugar signals etc) According to Answers.com: Any of a group of conjugated proteins having a carbohydrate as the nonprotein component.
Proteins with sugar molecules attached to them are called what?
glycoproteins
Glycoproteins and proteoglycans are combinations of proteins and?
[protein molecules and] carbohydrate molecules.
What serves as receptors or cell recognition molecules on cell surfaces?
Glycolipids are membrane carbohydrates covalently bonded to lipids. According to Campbell Reece's book AP Edition Biology 7th Edition, these are the most important molecules in cell to cell recognition.
What binds to receptor molecules on the host cell membrane?
glycoproteins
What are proteins with surgar molecules attached to them called?
I believe they are called glycoproteins
What are proteins with suger molecules allached to them called?
Proteins with saccharides (sugar molecules) attached to them are known as glycoproteins.
What often serve as receptors or cell recognition molecules on cell surfaces?
Glycoproteins
Are a class of glycoproteins that bind to components in the extracellular matrix thereby acting as adhesion molecules between cells and the matrix?
Integrins
What biological molecules can make up the bacterial capsule?
The cell capsule is a very large structure of some bacterial cells. It is a layer that lies outside the cell envelope of bacteria.
What in a cell membrane allow materials to enter and exit the cell?
Glycoproteins form channels which sustrates and larger molecules can pass through.
What is the main job of the cell membrane?
to control what goes in and out of a cell
How much glycoproteins are in the cell membrane?
there are 2% of the molecules in plasma membrane and 50% of its weight these are the protins in the animal cells.
